How track HTML Emails using images

Hi,
   I've heard you can track HTML emails (whether they're opened etc) by including an image as part of the HTML.
Do you know if this is possible and if so do you ahve any sample code on how to do this.

Cheers for the help.

I can create a CGI script with PERL to do that if you need it, just let me know.

Fortunately my email server will put such emails in the trash where they belong, and put the source on the blocked list.  You might want to re-think your approach, it is the kind to thing that is getting blocked more and more all the time, and the site where you hot link the image will end up blocked by some corporate sites as part of the battle against spam; and users behind those firewalls will not be able to visit even if they want to.
